Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
E-cigarettes Ban:Good news for Tobacco?
The proposed ban on flavored e-cigarettes may drive many Americans back to cigarettes,said Christopher Palmeri and Jeff Green in the Los Ange Times.
Responding to an outbreak of hundreds of serious lung illnesses from vapes(电子烟)that killed a seventh person this week, FDA(食物药品监管局)will outlaw everything but tobacco-flavored-cigarettes, as Michigan and New York state recently did. Flavors like buttered popcorn and mango helped create "an explosion" in teen vaping. But hundreds of thousands of teens already addicted to nicotine-and 9 million adults who vape--may simply replace vaping with tobacco products. By banning favored vapes the government may be "closing the shed door after the horse has gotten out."
Nobody vapes "because the flavor is so amazing," said David Marcus in The Federalist com. That's why the ban is so clueless."If kids want to taste bubble gum,they can buy,you know,bubble gum." Vaping giants like Juul need to be honest about the fact that they’re in the nicotine business, and monitor themselves accordingly. They should spend billions ensuring that stores don’t sell to minors instead of touting the "scientific conclusion"that e-cigarettes are safer than smoking. The burning involved in smoking cigarettes creates tar and a bunch of chemicals not present in e-cigarettes' watery vapor. True, but nicotine is also a dangerous and addictive drug and vaping liquid itself contains chemicals that damage blood vessels(血管)."The idea of safe smoking" is"a lie," and the vaping industry's fruit- and candy-flavored pods" are proof of evil intent."
36. What led to the proposed ban on e-cigarettes?
A. Popular flavors like mango led to teen nicotine addiction.
B. The lack of proper legal supervision in the vaping industry.
C. An increased number of deaths resulting from lung diseases.
D. The sharp increase in the sale of unhealthy tobacco products.
37. What might happen if the ban takes effect?
A. FDA would regulate the tobacco industry more effectively.
B. The vaping industry would be more strictly monitored.
C. The evil intent of the vaping industry would be revealed.
D The tobacco industry might regain its previous glory.
38. The underlined word "touting"probably means________.
A. Promoting B. challenging C. assuming D. tolerating
39. What is the writer's attitude towards vape ban?
A. Supportive. B. Disapproving C. Uninterested D. Impartial.
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. A 39. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国发布加香型电子烟禁令的原因以及对吸电子烟的人尤其是青少年以及电子烟行业和香烟行业的影响，同时作者也表达了自己对禁令和电子烟的看法。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Responding to an outbreak of hundreds of serious lung illnesses from vapes(电子烟)that killed a seventh person this week, FDA(食物药品监管局)will outlaw everything but tobacco-flavored-cigarettes...(由于电子烟造成的严重的肺病爆发，这个周内造成了7人死亡，作为回应，FDA宣布除了烟草味的烟，其余的烟都是不合法的)”由此可知，就是因为由于电子烟造成的死于肺病的人的增加，才有了对电子烟的禁令，故选C。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The proposed ban on flavored e-cigarettes may drive many Americans back to cigarettes(对有香味电子烟的禁令可能使美国人开始吸香烟)”以及根据第二段中“But hundreds of thousands of teens already addicted to nicotine-and 9 million adults who vape--may simply replace vaping with tobacco products.(但是成千上万对尼古丁上瘾的青少年以及900万吸电子烟的成年人只会用烟草产品取代电子烟。)”由此可知，如果对电子烟的禁令生效，那么这些人会用烟草产品，那么烟草工业会更兴盛，烟草业可能会重拾昔日的辉煌，故选D。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Vaping giants like Juul need to be honest about the fact that they’re in the nicotine business, and monitor themselves accordingly. They should spend billions ensuring that stores don’t sell to minors instead of touting the "scientific conclusion"that e-cigarettes are safer than smoking.(像Juul这样的电子烟大企业要知道他们也是尼古丁产业，也要依照禁令监督自己。他们应该花钱来确保商店不向未成年人出售电子烟，而不是tout电子烟比吸烟更安全这个“科学论断”。)”结合选项，可知，作为电子烟企业，在没有禁令之前，在宣传自己产品时，会“推销”电子烟比吸烟更安全这个“科学论断”，“touting”意思是推销，故选A。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“By banning favored vapes the government may be "closing the shed door after the horse has gotten out."(禁止香味电子烟，政府就像“马出来后关上棚门”)”可知作者认为这个禁令没有意义。再结合第三段中“Nobody vapes "because the flavor is so amazing," said David Marcus in The Federalist com.That's why the ban is so clueless( David Marcus在The Federalist网站上说，没有人吸电子烟是因为它不错的味道。这是禁令毫无根据的原因。)”可知作者认为禁令毫无根据。以及最后一段中“Instead of banning flavors, the government "should empower the FDA to fully regulate the industry.(与其禁止带香味的电子烟，政府不如授权给FDA来全面地规范这个行业。)”综合可推断作者对禁令是不赞同的态度，故选B。

The Travelers
by Regina Porter (Hogarth, $27)
Though Regina Porter’s formally daring first novel “can feel too much like a jigsaw puzzle,” it achieves a “simply stunning” level of complexity, said Meng Jin in the San Fracisco Chronicle. As the first-time novelist tells the stories of two Georgia families — one black, one white — she weaves together events from 1946 to 2010 while deftly shifting between play-like dialogue, straight narrative, and various other modes. Not one character is a mere extra, and the impressive result “looks very much like life.”
Ask Again, Yes
by Mary Beth Keane (Scribner, $27)
Mary Beth Keane’s new novel is “one of the most unpretentiously profound books I’ve read in a long time,” said Maureen Corrigan in NPR.org. In 1973 New York City, two rookie cops forge a friendship that shapes the lives of the Irish-American families they raise side by side in a nearby suburb. Because each chapter is told from a new perspective, we come to know almost every member of those families, and Keane “beautifully dramatizes” how lives are built on a series of happenstances, including tragic ones.
Native Country of the Heart
by Cherrie Moraga (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $26)
“This memoir’s beauty is in its fierce intimacy,” said Roy Hoffman in The News York Times. Playwright Cherrie Moraga makes her mother the heroine of the book, bringing the late immigrant’s story to life “with a poet’s verve.” Mexican-born Elvira Moraga, who picked cotton in California at 11, sold cigarettes in Tijuana at 14, and never learned to read, became the heart and soul of a large extended family. Here, she’s a character too resonant to be merely emblematic.
The Edge of Every Day
by Marin Sardy (Pantheon, $26)
Mental illness leaves no one in a family untouched, said Alison Van Houten in Outside. In a book whose nonlinear structure “mimics the erratic nature of schizophrenia,” essayist Marin Sardy bringing the describes how the disorder struck her mother and a brother, scrambling life for all the children. Her mother’s paranoid delusions disrupted their schooling; years later, Sardy’s brother, after refusing help, committed suicide. “How does one lead any semblance of a normal life under such circumstances?” Sardy shows us how.
Note:
1. resonant: 共振的，共鸣的 2. emblematic: 象征的，典型的
3. nonlinear: 非线性的 4.schizophrenia: 精神分裂症
40. Which book touches upon a personal family tragedy?
A. The Travelers. B. Ask Again, Yes.
C. Native Country of the Heart. D. The Edge of Every Day.

A. The Travelers tells a straightforward story about two Georgia families.
B. The thread running through Ask Again,Yes is Irish way of life.

【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章小标题“Native Country of the Heart”下的“Mexican-born Elvira Moraga, who picked cotton in California at 11, sold cigarettes in Tijuana at 14, and never learned to read, became the heart and soul of a large extended family. Here, she’s a character too resonant to be merely emblematic.”可知，埃尔维拉·莫拉加出生于墨西哥，11岁时在加利福尼亚摘棉花，14岁时在提华纳卖香烟，从未学会阅读，却成为了一个大家庭的核心和灵魂。在这里，她是一个太有共鸣的角色，而不仅仅是象征性的。由此可知，这本书涉及到一个个人的家庭悲剧。故选C。

More than a score of Australian rare mammals have been killed by wild cats. These predator(扑食者), which arrived with European settlers, still threaten native wildlife-and are too plentiful on the mainland to eliminate, as has been achieved on some small islands which were previously filled with them. But Alexandra Ross of the University of New South Wales thinks she has come up with a different way to deal with the problem. As she writes in a paper in the Journal of Applied Ecology, she is giving feline(猫科的)-awareness lessons to wild animals involved in her introduction programs, in order to try to make them cat-conscious.
Many Australian mammals, though not actually extinct, are restricted to fragments of cat-free habitat. This will, however, put the forced migrants back in the sights of the cats that caused the problem in the first place. Training the migrants while they are in captivity, using stuffed models and the sorts of sounds made by cats, has proved expensive and ineffective. Ms Ross therefore wondered whether putting them in large natural enclosures with a scattering of predators might serve as a form of training camp to prepare them for introduction into their new, cat-ridden homes.
She tested this idea on a type of bandicoot(袋狸)that superficially resembles a rabbit. She and her colleagues raised two hundred bandicoots in a huge enclosure that also contained five wild cats. As a control, she raised a nearly identical population in a similar enclosure without the cats. She left animals to get on with life for two years, which, given that bandicoots breed four times a year and live for around eight years, was a considerable period for them. After some predation(扑食)and probably some learning, she abstracted 21 bandicoot from each enclosure, attached radio transmitters to them and released them into a third enclosure that had ten hungry cats in it. She then monitored what happened next. The outcome was that the training worked. Over the subsequent 40 days ten of the untrained animals were eaten by cats, but only four of the trained ones. One particular behavioral difference she noticed was that bandicoots brought up in a predator-free environment were much more likely to sleep alone than were those brought up around cats. And when are around, sleeping alone is dangerous. How well bandicoots that have undergone this extreme training will survive in the wild remains to be seen. But Ms Ross has at least prov reason for hope.
43. What can be learned from the first paragraph?
A. The feline-awareness lessons have proved ineffective.
B. There are too many wild cats to be killed in Australia.
C. Different ways have been tried to hunt and kill wildlife.
D. Native wildlife has been threatened by growing population
44. The forced migrants in the second paragraph refer to_______
A. Australian mammals restricted to certain areas
B. The wild cats tracking down the mammals
C. Wild animals involved in the program
D. The predators captured by the animal trainers
45. Which of the following is TRUE about the first two enclosures?
A. They were both closely monitored.
B. They had 200 bandicoots in total.
C. They had similar natural environment.
D. They both had wild cats in them.
46. What was the finding of Ms Ross’ research project?
A. Untrained bandicoots failed to identify cats.
B. Training bandicoots prepared them to fight cats.
C. Sleeping alone in the wild was dangerous.
D. Bandicoots could be trained to avoid predators.
【答案】43. B 44. A 45. C 46. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文阐述了二十多种澳大利亚哺乳动物已经被野猫灭绝了，并且，野猫还在威胁着当地哺乳动物的生命。南威尔士大学的亚历山德拉·罗斯经过试验发现，哺乳动物可以被训练来躲避捕食者。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“More than a score of Australian rare mammals have been killed by wild cats. These predator, which arrived with European settlers,still threaten native wildlife (超过二十种澳大利亚稀有哺乳动物被野猫杀死。这些捕食者是随欧洲殖民者抵达的，它们仍然威胁着当地的野生动物)”可知，超过二十种澳大利亚稀有哺乳动物被野猫杀死，并且这些捕食者仍然威胁着当地的野生动物。因此，从第一段可以了解到在澳大利亚，野猫杀之不尽。故选B项。
【44题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“Many Australian mammals, though not actually extinct, are restricted to fragments of cat-free habitat. (很多澳大利亚哺乳动物，虽然并没有灭绝，却被限制在没有猫的栖息地内)”可知，划线词所在句子的意思是“但这将使这些被迫移民者回到猫科动物的视野中，这是问题产生的根源”，其中“forced migrants”指的是限于某些地区的澳大利亚哺乳动物。故选A项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As a control, she raised a nearly identical population in a similar enclosure without the cats.(作为对照，她在一个类似的围场里饲养了几乎相同数量的兔耳袋狸，但里边没有野猫)”可知，作为对照，第二个围栏和第一个围栏有相似的自然环境，只是里面没有野猫。因此，前两个围栏有相似的自然环境。故选C项。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The outcome was that the training worked. Over the subsequent 40 days ten of the untrained animals were eaten by cats, but only four of the trained ones.(结果是训练奏效了。在随后的40天里，十只未经培训的动物被猫吃掉了，而经过培训的动物只有四只被猫吃掉)”可知，实验发现，与没有经过训练的袋狸鼠比起来，训练过的袋狸鼠更能够躲避被夜猫吃掉，即袋狸数可以被训练避开捕食者。故选D项。

V. Translation
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
52. 她后悔自己做决定是基于情感而非理性。(regret) (汉译英)
【答案】She regretted that her decision was based on emotion rather than reason.
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句、固定短语和时态。此处为that引导的宾语从句，主句主语为she，表示“后悔”应用动词regret，作谓语；从句中表示“决定”应用名词decision，作主语；表示“基于……”短语为be based on，后跟名词emotion，作宾语，表示“情感”；表示“而非，而不是”短语为rather than；表示“理性”可用名词reason。句子描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故翻译为She regretted that her decision was based on emotion rather than reason.
53. 玛丽对批评很敏感，所以你与她谈话时言词要谨慎。(careful) (汉译英)
【答案】Mary is very sensitive to criticism, so you have to be careful with your words when you talk to her.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、动词时态和主谓一致。句意：玛丽对批评很敏感，所以你与她谈话时言词要谨慎。Mary玛丽；be sensitive to对……敏感；very很，非常；criticism批评；so所以；you你；have to不得不；be careful with为固定短语，意为“对……要谨慎”；when当……时候；talk to为固定短语，意为“与……谈话”；her她。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，Mary为单数名词，be动词用is；so连接并列句，后面的句子主语为you，谓语动词用原形，when引导的时间状语从句中，主语为you，谓语动词使用原形。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为Mary is very sensitive to criticism, so you have to be careful with your words when you talk to her.。
54. 外面天气真冷，要是现在能喝到一碗老妈煮的热汤，一定能立即提升我的心情。（sure）(汉译英)
【答案】It’s so cold outside and if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now, it would sure lift my mood immediately.
【解析】
【详解】考查if引导的虚拟语气。分析所给中文提示词，“外面天气真冷”可译为“It’s so cold outside”，“要是现在能喝到一碗老妈煮的热汤，一定能立即提升我的心情。”根据句意可知，是对现在的一种假设，应该用if引导的虚拟语气，主句用主语＋would/should/might/could＋动词原形，从句用动词过去式，所以从句译为“if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now”和前句是并列关系，中间用and连接，主句部分，根据题干要求“一定”需用副词“sure”，故译为“it would sure lift my mood immediately”。故译为：It’s so cold outside and if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now, it would sure lift my mood immediately.
55. 热播电视连续剧《狂飙》(The Knockout)想要阐明的是正义绝不会向邪恶低头， 不法分子也终会自食恶果。(price) (汉译英)
【答案】What the hit TV series “The Knockout” conveys is that justice will never compromise with evil and outlaws will reap what he has sown.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句和固定结构。分析句子结构，对句子的翻译需要使用主语从句和表语从句。“热播电视连续剧”翻译为：the hit TV series，“阐明”翻译为：conveys，“正义绝不会向邪恶低头”翻译为：justice will never compromise with evil，“自食恶果”翻译为：reap what he has sown，“热播电视连续剧《狂飙》(The Knockout) 想要阐明的是”使用主语从句翻译，“正义绝不会向邪恶低头， 不法分子也终会自食恶果”使用表语从句翻译，故翻译为What the hit TV series “The Knockout” conveys is that justice will never compromise with evil and outlaws will reap what he has sown。

【答案】The comic, which is titled “Perhaps Imperfect, but...”, depicts two dancers, one of whom is seated on a wheelchair and the other is standing up. The seated individual, who is learning to dance with a great deal of effort, is an inspiration to us all. Meanwhile, the standing dancer, whose moves are flowing and graceful, demonstrates her mastery of the art.
Life is not always perfect, and even those with disabilities can achieve incredible things, which this image reminds us of. The seated dancer, whose efforts are certainly not inhibited by her wheelchair, has a determination that is truly admirable. Additionally, the standing dancer, who is perhaps perfect in her own way, can learn that imperfection is a beauty in itself.
Thus, this comic inspires us all to appreciate our own strengths and weaknesses, and to support one another in our conquests to overcome our perceived limitations.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
E-cigarettes Ban:Good news for Tobacco?
The proposed ban on flavored e-cigarettes may drive many Americans back to cigarettes,said Christopher Palmeri and Jeff Green in the Los Ange Times.
Responding to an outbreak of hundreds of serious lung illnesses from vapes(电子烟)that killed a seventh person this week, FDA(食物药品监管局)will outlaw everything but tobacco-flavored-cigarettes, as Michigan and New York state recently did. Flavors like buttered popcorn and mango helped create "an explosion" in teen vaping. But hundreds of thousands of teens already addicted to nicotine-and 9 million adults who vape--may simply replace vaping with tobacco products. By banning favored vapes the government may be "closing the shed door after the horse has gotten out."
Nobody vapes "because the flavor is so amazing," said David Marcus in The Federalist com. That's why the ban is so clueless."If kids want to taste bubble gum,they can buy,you know,bubble gum." Vaping giants like Juul need to be honest about the fact that they’re in the nicotine business, and monitor themselves accordingly. They should spend billions ensuring that stores don’t sell to minors instead of touting the "scientific conclusion"that e-cigarettes are safer than smoking. The burning involved in smoking cigarettes creates tar and a bunch of chemicals not present in e-cigarettes' watery vapor. True, but nicotine is also a dangerous and addictive drug and vaping liquid itself contains chemicals that damage blood vessels(血管)."The idea of safe smoking" is"a lie," and the vaping industry's fruit- and candy-flavored pods" are proof of evil intent."
36. What led to the proposed ban on e-cigarettes?
A. Popular flavors like mango led to teen nicotine addiction.
B. The lack of proper legal supervision in the vaping industry.
C. An increased number of deaths resulting from lung diseases.
D. The sharp increase in the sale of unhealthy tobacco products.
37. What might happen if the ban takes effect?
A. FDA would regulate the tobacco industry more effectively.
B. The vaping industry would be more strictly monitored.
C. The evil intent of the vaping industry would be revealed.
D The tobacco industry might regain its previous glory.
38. The underlined word "touting"probably means________.
A. Promoting B. challenging C. assuming D. tolerating
39. What is the writer's attitude towards vape ban?
A. Supportive. B. Disapproving C. Uninterested D. Impartial.
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. A 39. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国发布加香型电子烟禁令的原因以及对吸电子烟的人尤其是青少年以及电子烟行业和香烟行业的影响，同时作者也表达了自己对禁令和电子烟的看法。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Responding to an outbreak of hundreds of serious lung illnesses from vapes(电子烟)that killed a seventh person this week, FDA(食物药品监管局)will outlaw everything but tobacco-flavored-cigarettes...(由于电子烟造成的严重的肺病爆发，这个周内造成了7人死亡，作为回应，FDA宣布除了烟草味的烟，其余的烟都是不合法的)”由此可知，就是因为由于电子烟造成的死于肺病的人的增加，才有了对电子烟的禁令，故选C。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The proposed ban on flavored e-cigarettes may drive many Americans back to cigarettes(对有香味电子烟的禁令可能使美国人开始吸香烟)”以及根据第二段中“But hundreds of thousands of teens already addicted to nicotine-and 9 million adults who vape--may simply replace vaping with tobacco products.(但是成千上万对尼古丁上瘾的青少年以及900万吸电子烟的成年人只会用烟草产品取代电子烟。)”由此可知，如果对电子烟的禁令生效，那么这些人会用烟草产品，那么烟草工业会更兴盛，烟草业可能会重拾昔日的辉煌，故选D。
【38题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Vaping giants like Juul need to be honest about the fact that they’re in the nicotine business, and monitor themselves accordingly. They should spend billions ensuring that stores don’t sell to minors instead of touting the "scientific conclusion"that e-cigarettes are safer than smoking.(像Juul这样的电子烟大企业要知道他们也是尼古丁产业，也要依照禁令监督自己。他们应该花钱来确保商店不向未成年人出售电子烟，而不是tout电子烟比吸烟更安全这个“科学论断”。)”结合选项，可知，作为电子烟企业，在没有禁令之前，在宣传自己产品时，会“推销”电子烟比吸烟更安全这个“科学论断”，“touting”意思是推销，故选A。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“By banning favored vapes the government may be "closing the shed door after the horse has gotten out."(禁止香味电子烟，政府就像“马出来后关上棚门”)”可知作者认为这个禁令没有意义。再结合第三段中“Nobody vapes "because the flavor is so amazing," said David Marcus in The Federalist com.That's why the ban is so clueless( David Marcus在The Federalist网站上说，没有人吸电子烟是因为它不错的味道。这是禁令毫无根据的原因。)”可知作者认为禁令毫无根据。以及最后一段中“Instead of banning flavors, the government "should empower the FDA to fully regulate the industry.(与其禁止带香味的电子烟，政府不如授权给FDA来全面地规范这个行业。)”综合可推断作者对禁令是不赞同的态度，故选B。
(B)
Also of interest...in family dramas
The Travelers
by Regina Porter (Hogarth, $27)
Though Regina Porter’s formally daring first novel “can feel too much like a jigsaw puzzle,” it achieves a “simply stunning” level of complexity, said Meng Jin in the San Fracisco Chronicle. As the first-time novelist tells the stories of two Georgia families — one black, one white — she weaves together events from 1946 to 2010 while deftly shifting between play-like dialogue, straight narrative, and various other modes. Not one character is a mere extra, and the impressive result “looks very much like life.”
Ask Again, Yes
by Mary Beth Keane (Scribner, $27)
Mary Beth Keane’s new novel is “one of the most unpretentiously profound books I’ve read in a long time,” said Maureen Corrigan in NPR.org. In 1973 New York City, two rookie cops forge a friendship that shapes the lives of the Irish-American families they raise side by side in a nearby suburb. Because each chapter is told from a new perspective, we come to know almost every member of those families, and Keane “beautifully dramatizes” how lives are built on a series of happenstances, including tragic ones.
Native Country of the Heart
by Cherrie Moraga (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $26)
“This memoir’s beauty is in its fierce intimacy,” said Roy Hoffman in The News York Times. Playwright Cherrie Moraga makes her mother the heroine of the book, bringing the late immigrant’s story to life “with a poet’s verve.” Mexican-born Elvira Moraga, who picked cotton in California at 11, sold cigarettes in Tijuana at 14, and never learned to read, became the heart and soul of a large extended family. Here, she’s a character too resonant to be merely emblematic.
The Edge of Every Day
by Marin Sardy (Pantheon, $26)
Mental illness leaves no one in a family untouched, said Alison Van Houten in Outside. In a book whose nonlinear structure “mimics the erratic nature of schizophrenia,” essayist Marin Sardy bringing the describes how the disorder struck her mother and a brother, scrambling life for all the children. Her mother’s paranoid delusions disrupted their schooling; years later, Sardy’s brother, after refusing help, committed suicide. “How does one lead any semblance of a normal life under such circumstances?” Sardy shows us how.
Note:
1. resonant: 共振的，共鸣的 2. emblematic: 象征的，典型的
3. nonlinear: 非线性的 4.schizophrenia: 精神分裂症
40. Which book touches upon a personal family tragedy?
A. The Travelers. B. Ask Again, Yes.
C. Native Country of the Heart. D. The Edge of Every Day.
41. Which of the following about each book is TRUE?
A. The Travelers tells a straightforward story about two Georgia families.
B. The thread running through Ask Again,Yes is Irish way of life.
C Native Country of the Heart was written in memory of Elvira Moraga.
D. The Edge of Every Day describes one’s struggle against mental diseases.
42. What do the four books have in common?
A. They were published by the same publishing house.
B. They belong to the same type of literary works.
C. The stories were’ll set in the last century.
D. They represented the peak level of each writer.
【答案】40. C 41. B 42. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍的是让人感兴趣的家庭戏剧。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章小标题“Native Country of the Heart”下的“Mexican-born Elvira Moraga, who picked cotton in California at 11, sold cigarettes in Tijuana at 14, and never learned to read, became the heart and soul of a large extended family. Here, she’s a character too resonant to be merely emblematic.”可知，埃尔维拉·莫拉加出生于墨西哥，11岁时在加利福尼亚摘棉花，14岁时在提华纳卖香烟，从未学会阅读，却成为了一个大家庭的核心和灵魂。在这里，她是一个太有共鸣的角色，而不仅仅是象征性的。由此可知，这本书涉及到一个个人的家庭悲剧。故选C。

(C)
More than a score of Australian rare mammals have been killed by wild cats. These predator(扑食者), which arrived with European settlers, still threaten native wildlife-and are too plentiful on the mainland to eliminate, as has been achieved on some small islands which were previously filled with them. But Alexandra Ross of the University of New South Wales thinks she has come up with a different way to deal with the problem. As she writes in a paper in the Journal of Applied Ecology, she is giving feline(猫科的)-awareness lessons to wild animals involved in her introduction programs, in order to try to make them cat-conscious.
Many Australian mammals, though not actually extinct, are restricted to fragments of cat-free habitat. This will, however, put the forced migrants back in the sights of the cats that caused the problem in the first place. Training the migrants while they are in captivity, using stuffed models and the sorts of sounds made by cats, has proved expensive and ineffective. Ms Ross therefore wondered whether putting them in large natural enclosures with a scattering of predators might serve as a form of training camp to prepare them for introduction into their new, cat-ridden homes.
She tested this idea on a type of bandicoot(袋狸)that superficially resembles a rabbit. She and her colleagues raised two hundred bandicoots in a huge enclosure that also contained five wild cats. As a control, she raised a nearly identical population in a similar enclosure without the cats. She left animals to get on with life for two years, which, given that bandicoots breed four times a year and live for around eight years, was a considerable period for them. After some predation(扑食)and probably some learning, she abstracted 21 bandicoot from each enclosure, attached radio transmitters to them and released them into a third enclosure that had ten hungry cats in it. She then monitored what happened next. The outcome was that the training worked. Over the subsequent 40 days ten of the untrained animals were eaten by cats, but only four of the trained ones. One particular behavioral difference she noticed was that bandicoots brought up in a predator-free environment were much more likely to sleep alone than were those brought up around cats. And when are around, sleeping alone is dangerous. How well bandicoots that have undergone this extreme training will survive in the wild remains to be seen. But Ms Ross has at least prov reason for hope.

B. They had 200 bandicoots in total.
C. They had similar natural environment.
D. They both had wild cats in them.
46. What was the finding of Ms Ross’ research project?

【答案】43. B 44. A 45. C 46. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文阐述了二十多种澳大利亚哺乳动物已经被野猫灭绝了，并且，野猫还在威胁着当地哺乳动物的生命。南威尔士大学的亚历山德拉·罗斯经过试验发现，哺乳动物可以被训练来躲避捕食者。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“More than a score of Australian rare mammals have been killed by wild cats. These predator, which arrived with European settlers,still threaten native wildlife (超过二十种澳大利亚稀有哺乳动物被野猫杀死。这些捕食者是随欧洲殖民者抵达的，它们仍然威胁着当地的野生动物)”可知，超过二十种澳大利亚稀有哺乳动物被野猫杀死，并且这些捕食者仍然威胁着当地的野生动物。因此，从第一段可以了解到在澳大利亚，野猫杀之不尽。故选B项。
【44题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“Many Australian mammals, though not actually extinct, are restricted to fragments of cat-free habitat. (很多澳大利亚哺乳动物，虽然并没有灭绝，却被限制在没有猫的栖息地内)”可知，划线词所在句子的意思是“但这将使这些被迫移民者回到猫科动物的视野中，这是问题产生的根源”，其中“forced migrants”指的是限于某些地区的澳大利亚哺乳动物。故选A项。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As a control, she raised a nearly identical population in a similar enclosure without the cats.(作为对照，她在一个类似的围场里饲养了几乎相同数量的兔耳袋狸，但里边没有野猫)”可知，作为对照，第二个围栏和第一个围栏有相似的自然环境，只是里面没有野猫。因此，前两个围栏有相似的自然环境。故选C项。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The outcome was that the training worked. Over the subsequent 40 days ten of the untrained animals were eaten by cats, but only four of the trained ones.(结果是训练奏效了。在随后的40天里，十只未经培训的动物被猫吃掉了，而经过培训的动物只有四只被猫吃掉)”可知，实验发现，与没有经过训练的袋狸鼠比起来，训练过的袋狸鼠更能够躲避被夜猫吃掉，即袋狸数可以被训练避开捕食者。故选D项。

V. Translation
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
52. 她后悔自己做决定是基于情感而非理性。(regret) (汉译英)
【答案】She regretted that her decision was based on emotion rather than reason.
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句、固定短语和时态。此处为that引导的宾语从句，主句主语为she，表示“后悔”应用动词regret，作谓语；从句中表示“决定”应用名词decision，作主语；表示“基于……”短语为be based on，后跟名词emotion，作宾语，表示“情感”；表示“而非，而不是”短语为rather than；表示“理性”可用名词reason。句子描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故翻译为She regretted that her decision was based on emotion rather than reason.
53. 玛丽对批评很敏感，所以你与她谈话时言词要谨慎。(careful) (汉译英)
【答案】Mary is very sensitive to criticism, so you have to be careful with your words when you talk to her.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、动词时态和主谓一致。句意：玛丽对批评很敏感，所以你与她谈话时言词要谨慎。Mary玛丽；be sensitive to对……敏感；very很，非常；criticism批评；so所以；you你；have to不得不；be careful with为固定短语，意为“对……要谨慎”；when当……时候；talk to为固定短语，意为“与……谈话”；her她。此处陈述客观事实，使用一般现在时，Mary为单数名词，be动词用is；so连接并列句，后面的句子主语为you，谓语动词用原形，when引导的时间状语从句中，主语为you，谓语动词使用原形。结合其他汉语提示，故翻译为Mary is very sensitive to criticism, so you have to be careful with your words when you talk to her.。
54. 外面天气真冷，要是现在能喝到一碗老妈煮的热汤，一定能立即提升我的心情。（sure）(汉译英)
【答案】It’s so cold outside and if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now, it would sure lift my mood immediately.
【解析】
【详解】考查if引导的虚拟语气。分析所给中文提示词，“外面天气真冷”可译为“It’s so cold outside”，“要是现在能喝到一碗老妈煮的热汤，一定能立即提升我的心情。”根据句意可知，是对现在的一种假设，应该用if引导的虚拟语气，主句用主语＋would/should/might/could＋动词原形，从句用动词过去式，所以从句译为“if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now”和前句是并列关系，中间用and连接，主句部分，根据题干要求“一定”需用副词“sure”，故译为“it would sure lift my mood immediately”。故译为：It’s so cold outside and if I could have a bowl of hot soup cooked by my mum right now, it would sure lift my mood immediately.
55. 热播电视连续剧《狂飙》(The Knockout)想要阐明的是正义绝不会向邪恶低头， 不法分子也终会自食恶果。(price) (汉译英)
【答案】What the hit TV series “The Knockout” conveys is that justice will never compromise with evil and outlaws will reap what he has sown.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句和固定结构。分析句子结构，对句子的翻译需要使用主语从句和表语从句。“热播电视连续剧”翻译为：the hit TV series，“阐明”翻译为：conveys，“正义绝不会向邪恶低头”翻译为：justice will never compromise with evil，“自食恶果”翻译为：reap what he has sown，“热播电视连续剧《狂飙》(The Knockout) 想要阐明的是”使用主语从句翻译，“正义绝不会向邪恶低头， 不法分子也终会自食恶果”使用表语从句翻译，故翻译为What the hit TV series “The Knockout” conveys is that justice will never compromise with evil and outlaws will reap what he has sown。

【答案】The comic, which is titled “Perhaps Imperfect, but...”, depicts two dancers, one of whom is seated on a wheelchair and the other is standing up. The seated individual, who is learning to dance with a great deal of effort, is an inspiration to us all. Meanwhile, the standing dancer, whose moves are flowing and graceful, demonstrates her mastery of the art.
Life is not always perfect, and even those with disabilities can achieve incredible things, which this image reminds us of. The seated dancer, whose efforts are certainly not inhibited by her wheelchair, has a determination that is truly admirable. Additionally, the standing dancer, who is perhaps perfect in her own way, can learn that imperfection is a beauty in itself.
Thus, this comic inspires us all to appreciate our own strengths and weaknesses, and to support one another in our conquests to overcome our perceived limitations.
